[Spoon-business] save B Nomic!

[Zarpint <athena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think, given Dave's pleas, we should do this. I can prop it,
as Meta-Minister, or someone else can. Note that we already have
a Minister of the Roster (in the Ruleset).

Are we all willing to work one or two ministries to keep the game going?
We could tie Bandwidth linearly to number of Ministries,
to encourage Players to take them,
if otherwise they won't.

I also don't think I officially called for an Election.
As Meta-Minister, I officially call for Elections on the following Ministries:

I. Billy, Minister of Gremlins
II. Quotekeeper, Minister of Quotes
III. Minister of Keys
IV. Minister of the Roster
V. Merlyn, Minister of Grammar
VI. Attorney Generalist

The Nomination phase now starts. Nominations need to be seconded to take
effect.
I make the following nominations:

I. Aquarion, BvS, bd, Wonko
II. bd, Glotmorf, Iain, The Voice, Zarpint
III. Iain, Mikie, Sagitta, Teucer, Scoff!
Iv. Sagitta, Scoff!, SkArcher, Zarpint
V. SkArcher, Teucer, The Pusher Robot, Mikie, Aquarion
VI. The Pusher Robot, The Voice, Wonko, Glotmorf, BvS

Please make others. Please second lots of nominations.

I think the Nomination phase ends on nday 2 of next nweek (the 5 days being
7, 8, 9, 10, and 1). Someone please correct this if it's not right.

Godel
